Sigh. I have a really, really good reason that I probably won't get to see Serenity in theaters in September, and the DC advance showing on May 26 is already sold out. Damn you, fellow obsessed fans! (If anyone knows where I might snag a ticket, let me know -- I'm willing to travel pretty much anywhere within a 5-hour radius of DC.)

Talking to [livejournal.com profile] harriet_spy made me realize I haven't actually said here that my visit in DC has turned into a non-visiting, tenure-track job, which is great. I miss NY for the friends (and the chocolates), but it turns out I go back on a regular basis and get to see the fabulous folks pretty often. Also, Mariebelle sells via the Internet, so the chocolate part is under control. A guy is coming to put built-in bookshelves in the Riv-cave tomorrow, so I guess we're here to stay.

Fiction: Rusch, Hamilton, Robinson, Baker, Butler, Mosley, Ruff, Crusie )
O my Honda Civic Hybrid -- I love you because when I took [livejournal.com profile] misterrivkat to the airport for his trip to Iceland, we left DC at 4:15 and I spent until around 6:30 navigating the usual, moderately awful DC-area rush hour in DC, Maryland, DC again and then Virginia.

And I got over 45 miles per gallon.

Admittedly, this is a notable result, and I probably won't get that for the whole tank. But it still makes me unreasonably happy.

Book reviews: Coben, Rusch, Robinson, Kellerman, Briggs, Stross, MacLeod, Butler )
[livejournal.com profile] boniblithe! You sweetie!

She sent me Dodie Smith (author of The Hundred and One Dalmations, a book I loved to pieces, literally!), Patricia Briggs, and The Gift: Imagination and the Erotic Life of Property -- isn't that amazing?

Short story collections: Kristine Kathryn Rusch, Borderlands, Lawrence Block, Murder by Magic, Redshift, Kim Stanley Robinson, Men Seeking Women )
